Very timely article for the Australian academic community...... "It’s very cool to get a huge grant. That’s super cool for like, two seconds,” she recalls — but then her mind began to race with the other responsibilities she had to tackle to keep that work moving forward." Your success has been announced! Awesome! What happens next? You must treat academia like a business which involves constant self-promotion and advocacy. Your success story is ongoing, and I'm here to guide you through each chapter. A successful grant is a victory, but it's not the time to rest. In the dynamic world of academia, continuous advocacy for yourself is crucial. Turning your academic success into a thriving business requires ongoing effort. Use your recent grant as a platform to advocate for your research, skills, and expertise. Ready to elevate your academic journey into a thriving business? Whether you're celebrating success or facing challenges, personalised coaching can make a significant difference.

'Kopec did not feel pushed out of academia, she says. But she did feel pushed to choose between her own happiness and her career. After years of choosing her career and feeling like her path was out of her control, she wanted to make a change. “For the first time in my adult career, I have decided not to keep doing that,” she remembers thinking. “I’m going to make a decision for me, personally.” ' Great piece, thank you for the insights! This certainly resonates with me #womeninscience #academia #academicresearch #womeninstem

As I approach my in-person summer placement this coming July it’s got me thinking about time management and prioritisation, mainly what our brains do when choosing what’s most important to us. For my downtime as of recent I’ve been re-watching Greys Anatomy and as everyone who has experienced the how McDreamy, aka the gorgeous neurosurgeon Derek Shepard is a poignant part of the protagonists (Meredith Grey’s) story line. I can assure you I have a point to this and am not just referencing pop culture to keep you interested. After seeing the man at work, it got me thinking about the research behind time management particularly because I have ADHD and it has been one of the most difficult parts of re-discovering the way my brain works. Recent research has uncovered that our working memory is incredibly flexible, prioritisation activates our pre-frontal and parietal brain areas. I believe this is where our visual attention is most active, this suggests that there is a parallel between the two. This was a fairly longwinded way in saying, I’m learning about my brain and the importance of time management which although daring is quite fun and interesting. The articles I read are below for anyone wanting a deeper diver into the wonders. I may not have a medical degree and perform mind-blowing surgeries like Shepard but small deep dive does make me feel a little like one.

We value curiosity as an important driver of human evolution, society, art and intellect—and rightly so. But what is curiosity? How, when and where does it develop? What happens when that development is interrupted, or cut short? And how can we make sure that, when it is, the personal and societal consequences are minimised and addressed? Distinguished NIAS-Lorentz Center Fellow Eveline Crone investigates the emergence of curiosity during adolescence, a critical period for stimulating curiosity. She seeks to answer key questions such as the factors facilitating its development, and its impact on biological, individual, social, and societal domains. The overarching goal of her NIAS-Lorentz project, which this talk concludes, is to propose a new theory on emerging curiosity.

Excited to announce the culmination of my Honors Capstone research! Today, I presented my thesis on "Pareidolia and Creative Potential" at the Virginia Association for Psychological Sciences (VAPS) Conference. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Krisztina Jakobsen, whose mentorship shaped both my research and my academic journey. Looking forward to what's next! #HonorsCapstone #PsychologyResearch

Calling all interested in foraging behavior! 🐾 Join for a multidisciplinary conference bridging diverse perspectives on the mechanistic basis of foraging. Let's explore shared principles, cognitive insights, and future directions in foraging research

In this chapter, I discuss the differences and difficulties I found during the tumultuous, nerve-racking process of completing a PhD as an older, working class man. The subject of my research very personal and extremely sensitive: male involuntary childlessness.

A picture is worth a thousand words but turns out it's also worth a thousand memories too! Spatial orientation is more important than any other details when it comes to our brains.
